Interesting and gross



Well yesterday Pieter and Rexon happened upon the snake that they figure had left that gigantic skin that they had found a week or so ago. Unfortunately, the snake was dead. It was a HUGE rock python. I can't remember the footage but it was big...
Anyhow they figured that it must have gotten an impala or something then hyena's killed the snake to steal the impala carcass. Yes this snake was THAT big to take down an atelope like an impala. Here is a link to the video Sagresta posted on the W.E. social network:

Here is the video of when they found the skin:

Karuhla the resident leopard is definately in heat and has been in camp a few times to drag down clothes off their line to roll around in them. I think they are at 4 or 5 nights in a row that she has done this. I hope Pieter got more pictures if it happens again!

Today was a good drive...we saw a big white rhino bull, One Tusk the elephant, a bush baby, impala, kudu, and bokkie.
